•Monro-Kellie Hypothesis volume equilibrium between intracranial compartments of blood, CSF, brain parenchyma
• CPP = MAP - ICP
•Ohm’s Law: CBF =MAP - ICP /Resistance
•Poiseuille’s Law: Resistance α1/radius4 Q = πr4 ΔP/ 8 ηL
• Autoregulation maintaining CBF over a range of CPP
• Compliance = ΔV/ΔP
• Elastance = ΔP/ΔV
• PVI (ml) =V/1og(Pp/Po)
•Starling’s Forces driving water movement Jv=KOc - πi)+KH(Pc -Pi)
